About These Birds
Sichuan Partridge
La arborófila de pecho rojizo de Sichuan es una especie de arborófila en peligro crítico de extinción endémica de la provincia de Sichuan, en el suroeste de China. Solo es conocida de unos pocos puntos en el sur de Sichuan, donde habita en los bordes de bosques de bambú y bosques de hoja perenne montanos. La pérdida de hábitat forestal la ha reducido a una de las arborófilas más raras del mundo.
Hill Partridge
Una perdiz de colina robusta (unos 280 g) propia de los bosques del Himalaya y del sur de China. Tiene un collar negro llamativo y partes superiores con vetas y barras complejas. Vive en laderas boscosas entre 1.000 y 3.000 metros de altitud, donde busca su alimento entre la hojarasca. Como muchas perdices, prefiere correr a volar cuando se alarma.
